FIT's
department of International Trade & Marketing (ITM)
is committed to raising funds for scholarships and
activities that enhance students' education and
employability. With the assistance of its Advisory Board
and its International Students Alumni Society (ITAS),
the department organizes fundraising events to endow
permanent scholarships and career development
activities. All or a portion of the donations to these funds are tax
deductible. Proceeds are administered by the Educational
Foundation for the Fashion Industries (EFFI).
Permanent Scholarships
ITM raises
funds to endow two types of permanent (in perpetuity)
scholarships:
Full-Time
Scholarship: A gift or a fund of $100,000 endows an
in-perpetuity scholarship that pays the tuition
of a full-time New York resident or, half the tuition of
a full-time, non-resident of New York, for one year. Donor(s) select the scholarship's name and
recipients' criteria with the consent of the department. The department administers the
selection of a recipient every year following the
criteria established by the donor.
Part-Time
Scholarship: A gift or a fund of $50,000 endows an
in-perpetuity scholarship that pays the half of
the annual tuition of a full-time New York resident or,
twenty-five percent of a on-resident of New York, for one year.
The donor or the funding group selects the scholarship's
name and recipients' criteria. Donor(s) select the scholarship's name and
recipients' criteria with the consent of the department. The department administers the
selection of a recipient every year following the
criteria established by the donor.
Practicum Scholarships
Every year ITM conducts an international field trip to
provide students with an opportunity to observe
international trade in action. In recent years the ITM
Practicum has traveled to Portugal, Costa Rica, and
Brazil, and students have visited textile and apparel
factories, trade organizations, chambers of commerce,
government agencies, consumer groups, and educational
institutions.
A $5,000 donation funds the travel and tuition costs of
a student who, otherwise, could not afford this unique
educational experience to travel abroad and observe
life, commerce, and culture in other countries. The
department administers the selection of a recipient
following the criteria established by the donor. Donors
are invited to review students' applications.
